How can AL client use 250 MB on 5 hour session

[Remiem]

Hey there. Data usage can vary based on a LOT of factors, including apps you are running in the background, the kind of activity you are engaging in in game, etc etc. In our testing, Arcane Legends does still hover around our initial estimate of around 3-5mb per hour to run on a normal mobile data connection (3g/4g). Of course, add it in with jumping back and forth to Tapatalk, chatting on Line, downloading or posting screenshots, and the use of other tertiary mobile apps that you may use to enhance your Arcane Legends experience...and the data can stack up fast.

We recommend if data usage is a concern for you, that you connect to WiFi whenever possible so as not to use your plan data. Then, only use mobile data when you're on the go and there simply isn't a WiFi connection to be found. Hope this helps!

I'm assuming they are looking at just AL data usage. Not overall data usage. So the other apps shouldn't matter.

Out of curiosity, how does STS test data usage? What kind of activities are done?

Remi that could be for USA?
But not here. I use around 500-1024 mb data each day on my 3g-4g network (playing 10+hours).

Interesting. It may be time for us to do another bandwidth profiling session - it's been a while for Arcane Legends. Using Linkincena's screenshot and time estimates, it would be about 100Mb per day and thus around 20Mb per hour. Seems like a lot, but like I said, I haven't done bandwidth profiling recently.

70% of My pocket money goes on Internet for AL.. It takes 1 GB in 9-10 Days

Now I played for 10 hrs yesterday.. and the screenshot I took at 7:32 this morning on 14th (today)..
Check the data jump.... around 400 MB?

sorry for the noob question but if translated to english, does that mean there will be better ping for other countries? if so then yeeeeeeeeey!

[synfullmagic_23110]

Honestly you should only play online game with wifi since 3G isn't really dependable
4g idk

And What is Bandwidth profiling?

[Linkincena]

Posting here for our players to understand...

Not sure but I think they're gonna test how much gb is used up while using 3g/4g for playing AL, this howl thread isn't going about ping.

[Linkincena]

this howl thread

Woof lol

This is exciting to hear.


(I would definitely try running elites in this period of time: They are rumored to be heavy data users.)

I've had simmilar data usage spikes from 10 hour sessions.


In this time I would have been running tombs most of the time.
